Howsham Mill

Howsham Mill is an 18th Century watermill near Malton in North Yorkshire.  It has been restored as an education centre in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  With an Archimedean Screw turbine and water wheel, Howsham Mill generates renewable energy.  

Our free school visits and activities at Howsham Mill have been developed with the National Curriculum in mind, strongly linked to Science, Technology & History. Visits are designed to inform pupils as well as develop their skills and understanding.
